Abstract
The General Co-chairs welcome participants to Beijing, to HPC-Asia 2005! HPC-Asia is an international conference/exhibition series held every 18 months on an Asia-Pacific regional site. It provides a forum for HPC researchers, designer, vendors, and users throughout the world to exchange ideas, case studies, and research results related to all issues of high performance computing. The last seven conferences were held in Taipei in 1995, Seoul in 1997, Singapore in 1998, Beijing in 2000, Australia in 2001, India in 2002, and Tokyo in 2004.
